Approximately 30% of patients with large facial hemangiomas have PHACE syndrome, with the vast majority having intracranial arteriopathy. Few reports characterize neurological deterioration from this intracranial arteriopathy, and even fewer report successful treatment thereof. The authors report on a case of a child with PHACE syndrome who presented with an ischemic stroke from a progressive intracranial arteriopathy and describe her successful treatment with bilateral pial synangiosis.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>An 8-month old girl diagnosed with PHACE syndrome was found to have bilateral internal carotid artery stenosis. Although initially asymptomatic, a few months after diagnosis she suffered a right frontal and parietal stroke. MRI and cerebral angiography investigations demonstrated progressive intracranial arterial stenosis and occlusion. The patient then underwent indirect cerebral revascularization surgery. At 2-year follow-up, she exhibited clinical improvement with persistent speech and motor developmental delay. Follow-up MRI and cerebral angiography showed no new ischemic events and robust extensive vascular collateralization from surgery.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>PHACE syndrome is an uncommon disease, and affected patients often have cerebral arteriopathy. Although the underlying natural history of cerebral arteriopathy in PHACE remains unclear, cerebral revascularization may represent a potential therapy for symptomatic patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2015.5.peds1578","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,25]],"date-time":"2015-09-25T13:59:46Z","timestamp":1443189586000},"page":"70-75","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Bilateral pial synangiosis in a child with PHACE syndrome"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Andrew S.","family":"Jack","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, and\u00a0"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael M.","family":"Chow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, and\u00a0"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Loretta","family":"Fiorillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Divisions of Pediatric Dermatology,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thea","family":"Chibuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jerome Y.","family":"Yager","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Neurology, Department of Pediatrics, Stollery Children\u2019s Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vivek","family":"Mehta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, and\u00a0"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-peds1578","series-title":"Neurology","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1030","DOI":"10.1212\/01.WNL.0000052688.20517.7D","article-title":"Facial hemangioma and cerebral corticovascular dysplasia: a syndrome associated with epilepsy","volume":"60","author":"Aeby","year":"2003"},{"key":"b2-peds1578","series-title":"Neuroradiology","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"227","DOI":"10.1007\/s00234-002-0902-z","article-title":"PHACES syndrome: a review of eight previously unreported cases with late arterial occlusions","volume":"46","author":"Bhattacharya","year":"2004"},{"key":"b3-peds1578","series-title":"Pathology","first-page":"462","article-title":"An unusual case of Sturge-Weber syndrome","volume":"16","author":"Billson","year":"1984"},{"key":"b4-peds1578","series-title":"Pediatr Radiol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1129","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247-011-2142-z","article-title":"PHACE syndrome: MRI of intracerebral vascular anomalies and clinical findings in a series of 12 patients","volume":"41","author":"Bracken","year":"2011"},{"key":"b5-peds1578","series-title":"Radiology","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"601","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.207.3.9609880","article-title":"Cerebral vasculopathy and neurologic sequelae in infants with cervicofacial hemangioma: report of eight patients","volume":"207","author":"Burrows","year":"1998"},{"key":"b6-peds1578","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"719","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1997.86.4.0719","article-title":"Dural inversion procedure for moyamoya disease.
